Additional Rights Protection Mechanisms for .ZA and South Africa's new City TLDs – Neil Dundas, .za
The ZA Central Registry has historically administered second level domains within the .ZA ccTLD. However, the introduction of new, locally relevant, geo TLDs into the South African domain name market, has meant that it is no longer "business as usual" for the ZACR. Amongst a host of other challenges, the registry has had to implement and promote a wide variety of new Rights Protection Mechanisms (RPMs) in order to successfully launch the new TLDs and any new SLDs within .ZA.
The launch of these new 'open' domains to the public has resulted in the introduction of a variety of new RPMs to protect the interests of intellectual property (ip) rights owners, governments and affected communities across the region. These new RPM's include introducing the "First-Come-First-Served" orientated local domain market to concepts such as Sunrise period, TMCH, UDRP, URS and Reserved Name Lists (RNLs), to name a few.
This presentation is a brief overview of how the ZACR has attempted addressed these challenges.
